Steam Locomotive Started Travel Era
Col. John Stevens, at 76, built America’s first steam locomotive and proved its feasibility near his home. He envisioned rapid cross country travel and military movement, paving the path for railroads. His 1826 proof helped spark the Stevens Institute of Technology plaque, and he chartered early rail lines in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His legacy includes the world’s first steam ferry, the Phoenix, and innovations in ship propulsion and armor plating. Millicent Fenwick’s lineal descent ties to Stevens.
